 TORENIA ASIATICA. 



This new and very beautiful species has just bloomed in the Royal 

 Gardens at Kew Palace, and was exhibited at the last show at the 

 Cliiswick Gardens, where it was the admiration of all who saw it. 

 It forms a neat branching- plant, which appears to be easy of culture, 

 and blooming so freely, is one of the most lovely of plants, and will 

 merit a place in every collection.

1. ACIIIMENES LIEPMANNII. 

 Our drawing of this new species was mnde from a plant which 

 bloomed in our collection this spring. In habit, the plant resembles 

 A. grandiflora, the flowers, however, are of a much more rich and 

 deep colour than those of that variety. It is a strong grower, and 

 succeeds well with the ordinary treatment. 



2. GLOXINIA CARTONII. 



This is one of the most beautiful of the many varieties of this in- 

 teresting family. We believe it was originated in the garden of His 

 Grace the Uuke of Northumberland, at Siou House, Isleworth. It is
